Academic Honesty and Plagiarism
Attention is drawn to University policy and regulations on honesty in academic work, and to the disciplinary guidelines and procedures applicable to breaches
of such policy and regulations. Details may be found at http://www.cuhk.edu.hk/policy/academichonesty/.
With each assignment, students will be required to submit a signed declaration that they are aware of these policies, regulations, guidelines and procedures.
For assignments in the form of a computer-generated document that is principally text-based and submitted via the plagiarism detection engine CUPIDE, the
statement, in the form of a receipt, will be issued by the system upon students' uploading of the soft copy of the assignment.
Assignments without the receipt will not be graded by teachers.
